Default Re: Question "reVisited Style"

shorting the thread title is the way it can be done to get rid of the push on the lastpost cell .

admin-cp -> vBulletin Options -> 'Forum Listings Display Options'
the setting is : Last Thread Title Maximum Displayed Characters .

right now we use 25 characters, and will normaly stay within the 200px .
this is slighty wider than vBulletins default , the title lenght slightly shorter .
we need to remember the 800x resoultions people still use .

still every now and again one will go out of line untill another post with a title that is shorter or can be split by vBulletin to bring it back .
one of the things about split forums is this .

another way if you wish the last post wider than the 200px to let/ force them be wider for the shorter titles that wont' be as long - trying to keep them aligned .

changing this should help/ make them stay in line providing the title cut off is with-in this size - except for the every now and again long title is :
- on our styles - change out the '_lastpostspacer.gif' found in the {styl images dir}/misc .

made 4 wider ones - 225, 250, 275 and 300 px wide . they need to be rename them to _lastpostspacer.gif . over wright the one thats in the " {styl images dir}/misc " dir - this will force the cell to be at least that wide .
the number in front of them is the width .

fonts - we supply them as some people may not have them . saves them looking around for the font when editing the images with text .
